1973 Honda CB350 almost done! Maybe.....

Some of you might have seen pictures and stories of my 1973 Honda CB350. My dad and I have been working on this bike for about 18 months thus far. We had it running a few weekends ago and thought we were done. Unfortunalty, we recently encountered some electrical problems. With older bikes like these, its difficult to determine exactly what the problem is. It's not like you can run it down to your local Honda shop and tell them to fix it. This bike is older than a lot of the guys working in the shop! Anyways, we have recieved new ignition points and a new (old) coil. With these parts being replaced, I would venture to say this bike is almost a 100% restored. It's been a fun project bike and a hassle at times. With restoring classic bikes it's a love hate relationship anyway. You hate waiting on parts and hate when you can't figure out what the heck is wrong, but you love when the bikes is coming together and your hard work and paitence pay off. I will post new and updated pic of the Honda soon. This is my first blog, so im learning as I go.

Peace and happines forever,
Ryan
